25 Super Smart Scientists You've Never Heard Of But Should Appreciate

Science helps us make sense of the everyday phenomena around us, allows us to understand what is happening, why it is happening and how it will affect us, helps us design solutions to problems, and finally, it can also remind us of the forces at work in society. Earth and in the universe. Much larger than ourselves, science has also given the world some of the most important humans who have ever lived, from Aristotle to Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla, Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein. Legendary people in the world of science have literally changed the world, no matter how many

scientists

they are.

Unfortunately, for one reason or another, most of us ignore these unsung heroes. I'm Mike, with these 25 and this list of 25

super

scientists

you've

never

, they'll help you get to know them. many scientists for whom we

should

thank and be grateful 25 John Bardeen was an American physicist and electrical engineer. He is known for being the only person to win the Nobel Prize in Physics twice. The first time he won the award was in 1956 with William Shockley and Walter. Brattain for the invention of the transistor 16 years later, in 1972, he shared the same honor this time with Leon Ann Cooper and John Robert Schrieffer for a fundamental theory of conventional

super

conductivity known as BCS theory.

Bardeen's developments in superconductivity are widely used in nuclear magnetic resonance. spectroscopy and medical imaging by magnetic resonance or NMR and magnetic resonance imaging 24 Paul Otlet was a Belgian lawyer and author, he is considered by most modern scholars to be the father of information science, the field he referred to as an output of documentation was legally guilty of the adoption in Europe of the American standard 3x5 inch card used until recently in most of the world's library catalogs was placed with the appearance of the online public access catalog 23 Karl Landsteiner was an Austrian biologist and is famous for inventing categories of human bodies with different blood groups back in 1900 with his notable achievement blood transfusion became much less dangerous for patients this incredible medical invention gave him the name of the father of transfusion medicine in 1930 he received the Nobel Prize in medicine 22 Eustis von Liebig was a German scientist who made important contributions to agricultural and biological chemistry, he is considered the founder of organic chemistry, he is also known as the father of the fertilizer industry for his emphasis in nitrogen and trace elements as central plant nutrients, as well as for his formulation of the law of the minimum, which basically describes the latter. how plant growth depends on the scarcest nutritional resource rather than the total amount of resources available 21 frets haba was a German chemist awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918 he invented the haber-bosch process an invention of great importance for Large scale synthesis of fertilizers and explosives To get an idea of ​​how important his invention was, keep in mind that half of the world's current population produces food using this method of producing nitrogen fertilizers. 20 His son, including al-haytham, was an Arab mathematician, astronomer and physicist.

They describe him as the founder of modern optics. He was the first to explain that vision occurs when light reflects off an object and then passes to the eyes. He was also the first person to demonstrate through experiments how vision occurs in the brain and not the eyes. 19 and the Ricoh phantom II was an Italian-American physicist and the creator of the world's first nuclear reactor, the Chicago P, one of the most popular nicknames for him is the architect of the atomic bomb. Far to me he excelled in both theoretical and experimental physics. He specialized in anything. related to the use of nuclear energy for her extraordinary contributions in the world of science she received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938 18 Nettie Stephens was one of the first American geneticists who discovered the so-called sex chromosomes in 1905 and became the first scientist to observe that Male mealworms produced two types of sperm, one with a large chromosome and one with a small chromosome.

Fertilized eggs with large chromosomes produced female chromosomes, while fertilized eggs with small chromosomes produced male chromosomes. Thanks to Stevens, today we refer to these sex chromosomes as graphite, Although his work on cold viruses was

d during his lifetime, his contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA was recognized after his death sixteen Qin Qiong Wu was a Chinese-American experimental physicist who made important contributions to the field of nuclear physics. Wu worked on the Manhattan Project, where she helped develop the process to separate uranium into uranium-235 and uranium-238 isotopes by gaseous diffusion. She is best known for performing the Wu experiment, which showed that parity is not conserved.

This discovery earned her colleagues Dali and Chen Ying Yang the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics, but the Swedish Academy ignored Wu, regardless of her being considered within the circles of the scientific world as the first lady of physics 15 Tim Berners- Lee is an English computer engineer whom we should all know how to celebrate and thank every day because he is the man who invented the world wide web. He is also the first person to implement communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP client and a server. over the internet, yes he did it right, he is the one you have to thank for inventing the internet as a note.

He invented the world wide web, not the Internet, so just. to let you know that they are two separate things, so he invented the world wide web that uses the internet, the internet was invented by someone else, so just clarifying because I know from our video on the UK versus the US that it's a hot topic. 14 Norman Borlaug was an American agronomist who led initiatives around the world that contributed to the large increases in agricultural production called the green revolution. Borlaug was often called the father of the Green Revolution and is credited with saving more than a billion people around the world from hunger, according to Jan Douglas, executive assistant to the president. from the World Food Prize Foundation 13 Thanks to some advice, we now all know how important it is to wash our hands in hospitals, strains of bacteria resistant to antibiotics are eliminated by the simple act of washing our hands, the routine of Cleaning surgeons before an operation is a well-established practice, however this was not always the case until the late 19th century.

Surgeons did not wash their hands before surgery or even wash their hands between patients, causing infections to be transferred from one patient to another. Doctors and medical students routinely moved from one patient to another. from dissecting corpses to examining new mothers without first washing their hands, causing death from perpetual or puerperal fever as a consequence through rigorous analysis Semmelweis discovered the problem and introduced rigorous hand-washing rules in the maternity ward. Deaths were drastically reduced and ice xem became known. as savior of mothers 12 Rachel Carson was an American marine biologist who alerted the world to the environmental impact of fertilizers and pesticides in the 1950s she turned her attention to conservation, especially the problems she believed were caused by synthetic pesticides in 1962 she published the book Silent Spring for which she is best known throughout the world Carson died of cancer in 1964 and is remembered as one of the first activists who worked to preserve the world for future generations eleven Emilie du châtelet, famous Because she was Voltaire's mistress, she was actually a talented scientist and intellectual.

She single-handedly overcame the challenges that prevented women from becoming scientists at the time when she was educated and conducted experiments in physics. She was the first to translate Newton's Principia into French. With determined effort, he achieved his goal of finishing the manuscript just before he died on September 17. 49 The completed work was published ten years later, when the return of Halley's Comet sparked renewed interest in Newtonian mechanics. 10 Grace Hopper joined the US Navy during World War II and was assigned to program the Mark 1 computer on which she continued to work. Post-war computing Perhaps her best-known contribution to computing was the invention of the compiler, the intermediate program that translates English instructions into the language of the target computer.

She said she did this because she was lazy and hoped that the aforementioned programmer could become a mathematician again 9 Hedwig Ava Maria Keisler was born on November 9, 1914 in Vienna Austria Hedy Lamarr got her first leading role at the age of 17 in a German film Called Geldof der strasse gold on the street, she named the first actress to depict a female orgasm on film and was primarily known for her beautiful appearance, yet her incredible scientific talents were widely overlooked. Lamarr invented the progenitor of wireless communication in the 1940s, which was used as a secret wartime communication system that could prevent the enemy from interfering with these ships. torpedoes she obtained a patent in August 1942 and donated it to the US military to help fight the Nazis.

Jocelyn Bell Burnell is a British astrophysicist and astronomer. As a research assistant, she helped build a large radio telescope and co-discovered pulsars that provided the first direct evidence for the existence of rapidly spinning neutron stars although she is credited with one of the most important scientific achievements of the 20th century and her discovery earned her the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physics. Bell was not one of the winners of the prize. Unfortunately, in some cases, this is a man's world. 7 Alfred Russel Wallace was a British naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist and biologist, a man with many positive attributes, without a doubt, his research and work played a fundamental role in the development of the theory of natural selection, his article on the The topic was published alongside some of Charles Darwin's writings in 1858, prompting Darwin to publish his own ideas on the Origin of Species.

It is estimated that Wallace collected more than one hundred thousand specimens of insects, birds and animals which he gave to the daughter of the British Museum. by the famous British poet Lord Byron Augusta ADA Byron Countess of Lovelace better known as Ada Lovelace was born in London in 1815 showed her gift for mathematics at an early age she is primarily known or should be known for being the first computer programmer who wrote extensive notes on Charles Babbage's analytical engine in these notes Lovelace describes his machine as a computer with additional notes describing the software. An algorithm in the notes describes the first of its kind designed for use in a computer, but since Babbage's machine was

never

completed, the program could not be tested.

The only certainty is that ADA was a girl who could code, in fact. , could code better than any man of his time five euros Papanicolaou was a Greek pioneer in cytopathology and early cancer detection invented the Papanicolaou test that has saved the lives of millions of women Papanikolaou was the first to realize that cells Uterine cancers could be detected in vaginal smears in 1928, but his research and work were not widely appreciated until the late 1940s. In the 1960s he was invited to the University of Miami to direct and develop the Papanicolaou Cancer Research Institute. , did not win a Nobel Prize for his unique contributions to the world of medicine because Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was a Soviet space scientist and pioneer of astronaut theory ik, he is considered one of the founding fathers of modern rockets and Interestingly, his contributions to Astronautics played a very important role in the success of the Soviet space program, so Kolski believed that he developed rocket theory only as a complement to philosophical research on the subject. tres leza Meitner was a Swedish-Austrian physicist who worked in radioactivity and nuclear physics.

His research on nuclear fission helped pioneer nuclear reactors in the generation of electricity. She was the first woman to become a full professor of physics in Germany, but she lost this position in the 1930s due to the anti-Jewish Nuremberg laws in Nazi Germany. She was nominated 19 times for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and 29 times for the Nobel Prize in Physics, but unfortunately she never received the honor. ME Note was a German mathematician who made important contributions to algebra and theoretical physics as one of the most notable.Mathematicians of his time developed ring field theories and algebras in physics.

Miller's theorem explained the connection between symmetry and conservation laws. Albert Einstein and other decorated scientists described her as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. 1 Joseph Lister was a British surgeon and pioneer of antiseptic surgery. He was a strong advocate of the idea of ​​sterile surgery. Lister efficiently established the use of carbolic acid to sterilize surgical instruments and clean wounds. Used the innovative microbiology of Louis Pasteur Urza to support the use of carbolic acid as an antiseptic which subsequently became the first widely used antiseptic in surgery, blister hygiene practices in postoperative surgery provided a much safer environment for patients , establishing him as the father of modern surgery, so who is your favorite scientist?
